This profoundly original and stimulating book by an International Master and prolific chess writer offers superb instruction in pawn play by isolating its elements and elaborating on various aspects.\nAfter a lucid exposition of the fundamentals and the basic formations of one or two pawns that virtually constitute the keys to winning chess strategy, the reader is shown a multitude of examples demonstrating the paramount significance of elements of pawn manipulation. The author’s masterly explanation makes it perfectly clear to the beginner as well as the advanced player how the fate of a game depends on pawn formation and how pawn power holds the proceedings under its remote control. Over 180 games and diagrams illustrate the author’s theory and make it easy to follow the points made in the text.\nHans Kmoch played with distinction in several international tournaments and is the author of a number of books and columns on chess and chess tournaments.\n“We consider it the best publication on chess strategy since the end of World War II.” — Die Welt.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0486264866\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0486264866.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Kmoch, Hans\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
